Mark K Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi Cut Ballistic Compo sporting a custom made hessian and scrim cover IMO this particular example was produced by MSA...The helmet weighs in at 1593 grams so just over 1.5 kilo's it has been fitted with a Fast Ops Core OCC Dial up liner with EPP padding, And a fit band head loc four point harness system with glass case and ballistic glasses. As seen in the images below the helmet band is sporting a British service/Zap number with blood typing ,It is a known fact that certain elements of the British Special Forces used these particular types of helmets for a period of time...It has been suggested by a knowledgeable friend and collector that it may have seen service in the SBS, The NVG mount on the front was designed for use on the ACH/MICH DE,and is now fitted with a Rhino Night vision mount with J arm and is sporting a dummy AN/PVS-14 Night Vision Monocle to use for the purpose of display.. As well as being outfitted with a Harris under the helmet tactical earpiece and microphone headset... Regards Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
